Owner & Creative Director, Bamboo Barcelona
Barcelona Area, Spain
I'm co-owner and creative director of Bamboo, a cross-platform media agency. Bamboo is my favorite spot to rebel against old structures and believe I can make an impact that will push things forward.
Founded in 2003, Bamboo is an agency committed to the consultancy and development of contents that are consistent with the evolution and the changes that the Internet and the latest technologies are printing on the media market. In other words, we design strategies, concepts, formats and formulas based on an almost obsessive observation of the market to help "traditional media" adapt to the times.
I also sometimes get paid to take pictures, pay myself a ride self-portraying, sew imaginary dresses, provoke myself olfactory orgasms with perfume-creating, write inspired by my favorite readings, stare endlessly at maps (and papers, and stickers), believe in mystical connections, cook at the sound of Billie Holiday, live through storytelling, imagine myself acting in distinguished theaters, enjoy physical contact and overall find myself in need to believe in Job's connecting the dots.
In no particular order: art direction, online strategies and business models, social communication, cross-media, media trend & tech research, project management, community management, generation Y, social games.
